Don't let my boredom go to waste today, my fellow internet slobs. I made this cool chart and I want comments on it. This all stemmed from discussing resale values on some of our favorite 90's cars.

I put together this list first using MSRP prices on each car. Keep in mind the MSRP price DOES NOT contain any optional equipment. With the exception of perhaps the BMW and Corvette, most of these cars did not have a great deal of optional equipment anyway.

The KBB price is the RETAIL price at 50,000 miles for every car. This list is far from perfect because of so many real-world variables, but I think it's a useful guide to show what kind of resale hit these cars have taken on a percentage basis.

Interestingly, the VR-4 has held its value better (at least slightly) than the 300ZX Turbo. The RX-7 and Supra are the kings here, particularly the 97 and 98 Supra (after Toyota slashed the price). A resale value of 84% to 88% at ten years and 50,000 miles - can you imagine that?

I threw a few high-end cars on the list to get a perspective there. Now make a comment, please....anything.

Nice work. A little depressing, but still nice

Damn, that took a lot of work.

Good job, it is nice seeing it all laid out like that.

Makes me rememeber why i always preach buying used cars. haha

Dude, lots of putting together but good job. Glad to see my car is hangin in there, at least a lil bit.

Post up some pics of the ///M in our AV forum!

Bloody Nerd. It'd be just like me to do something like this. Thus saying, I enjoyed it throughly. If Vipers are that low, I very well might have one of those in my future.

My friend was looking for a MK4 Supra, I told him not to bother with the amount he wanted to spend. It seems you can't even get a body with blown engine for less than 10K.
